Michelle Nunn took the reins as CEO and president of CARE in July. Now, she’s tasked with getting to know an organization that has a presence in over 90 countries.
Devex caught up with Nunn in New York — and confirmed she might be hard to get a hold of in the coming year. Already Nunn has traveled to Turkey, Jordan, Kenya and Somalia, and she plans to visit every region in which CARE has a presence throughout her first year as CEO. She’s also Skyping and video conferencing with teams around the world to get to know her staff.
As former CEO of Points of Light, a nonprofit that empowers volunteer efforts, Nunn helped develop a portfolio that engaged tens of thousands of nonprofits and corporations; her knowledge of multistakeholder partnership is just one skill she’s bringing to her new role.
